Ranking the student presidential platforms by webpage layout

Davis Gonsalves | Wednesday, February 7, 2018

Election season is underway and this column tries to stay apolitical as much as possible. On the other hand, I love ranking things and I know this article is where the majority of my friends will be receiving their student government news. So I decided to rank these platforms based on their overall website layout

The dorm system’s inequalities

Devon Chenelle | Monday, January 22, 2018

Like most traumatic memories, I remember it like it was yesterday. It began when I followed my friend into his hall, Morrissey Manor.

Election season

Manuel De Jesus | Wednesday, November 9, 2016

It’s over. After a year and a half of scandals, lies and cringe-worthy soundbites from both candidates, the presidential election is finally over. Let’s be honest, this year’s race wasn’t met with very many positive or inspiring moments pointing to a promising future in U.S politics, and many are rightfully concerned about how this election

The Amazing Race: White House 2016

BridgeND | Thursday, September 17, 2015

“Do you think it’s fair that Hillary’s hair gets a lot more scrutiny than yours does?” If you had to guess, where would you say this question came from? A dramatic reality TV series that you would never admit you were a fan of in public? The kind of gossip-filled magazine you would never keep

“So we talked about abortion and marriage and re “So we talked about abortion and marriage and religious freedom, and I don’t know how we could not talk about it. I mean, we have to be authentic teachers. We’re not going to be silent about the truths that we hold dear.”

Joseph R. Biden has become the second Catholic President in United States history, but his position on abortion is “one that cannot be condoned” according to Rev. Robert Dowd. 

“Other bishops think that, because he’s a conscientious Catholic whose faith is obviously important to him, we should strike a more positive tone, particularly at the outset of his presidency. After all, in many ways Biden’s positions are more in line with Catholic teaching than Trump’s, particularly when it comes to migrants, refugees, climate issues, poverty and inequality,” Dowd continued.
